Cassell and Bradley J. Edwards. They in turn represent a young woman pictured below who is being referred to as Jane Doe No. 3. That representation is in pending legal proceedings in the United States Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida. This letter is a formal request on behalf of Mr. Edwards and Professor Cassell to interview you, under oath, regarding interactions that you had with Jane Doe No. 3 beginning in approximately early 2001. Jane Doe No. 3 was then 17 years old. Among other things, I would like to discuss events that occurred at the time that the photograph below was taken — and shortly thereafter.

Details of those claims have been widely reported in the British press (with varying degrees of accuracy) as have your denials of the claims , so I assume that it is unnecessary for me to be any more specific about the proposed areas of our inquiry. The interview could be conducted at a time and place of your choosing, and with your cooperation, I believe the interview could be completed in two hours or less. New court pleadings regarding relationships between you and Jane Doe #3 are currently being prepared but their filing will be delayed if you are willing and able to commit to accepting this invitation. Accordingly, the favor of a prompt reply by no later than January 19, 2015, would be greatly appreciated. cerely, SCAROLA /mep cc: Bradley J. Edwards, Esq. Professor Paul Cassell
